DVD - “Supported by Air” with Ilana Nevill
Using the Medium of Air in the Feldenkrais Method

A two-part video documenting innovatory “work in progress” now also available as a two part DVD

Over the course of many years some of my FI pupils with very special needs kept inspiring me to explore how the medium of air captured in inflatable oval balls (OROGINAL “pezzi” EGGs) can be used to trigger, facilitate, and enhance a person’s learning process.* See Feldenkrais on Air

The idea to document this work came from Josiah who possesses much knowledge and many skills – among them that of coping admirably with MS. He did most of the filming, and countless other jobs as well and I am infinitely grateful to him.

Since the video was completed in 2001 I have moved on considerably in my investigations, for instance, simplifying and improving the Air-Table. But all the basics of working with air are well documented in Supported by Air.

Part I ATM as Self-FI?
shows how air balls can be used in traditional ATM and how the same theme strategies can be applied in Functional Integration in lying and sitting.

Part II Functional Integration on Air
consists of extracts from sessions with two people with multiple sclerosis, a stroke patient, a stressed out academic and single mother and a child with cerebral palsy. The construction of an air table is demonstrated and its various uses for kneeling,and lying are shown.
